Normal Is What's Normal For You

Or in this case, me. This is the way I am. I have other fine qualities.

My sister and her husband went to Massachusetts yesterday for an overnight visit with his married daughter, her hubs, and their baby. Here's our texted conversation from last night:

She: howdy ... the others are playing monopoly & i'm texting & knitting ... do you realize that i haven't packed 1 thing for our trip ... sat & sun i guess.

I: I am TOTALLY packed. I could leave in five minutes.

She: you suck

Heh heh.

I am getting a little antsy, I guess. I have left numbers on the fridge for the plumber, the car mechanic, the A/C people. Tomorrow I have laundry to do and dry cleaning to pick up. I called the hotel this morning and we have the rooms we asked for: two adjoining rooms, first floor, near the main building.

I also got my school-is-starting-soon mail from the high school. It has the opening week's schedule and a few other items. It also lists all the new staff members. Not that many this year, but out of seven, four are former students. There is no one listed for Social Studies; it says TBA for To be Announced. So they're clearly not opposed to hiring former students; shall we make it five? I don't really think so; she would have heard by now. It's unbelievable to me that she hasn't gotten a job, you know. Even speaking objectively, as much as I can, I can see that she's the kind of teacher a school would want. I had thought that she interviewed well, but maybe not, I don't know. I do know that some school some day is going to be thrilled that she was available for them. I just wish it was today.

And that's my day. Pedi tomorrow (I'll post pictures of that) and a visit from R.
